Nintendo discontinued the NES Classic Edition because it will release the much-requested SNES Classic Edition this year, according to a new report.

Eurogamer – whose sources correctly leaked information about Nintendo’s Switch console prior to its reveal – claims that the SNES Classic Edition (or SNES Mini in Europe) will be released in time for Christmas, and that development is underway.

Nintendo controversially discontinued production of the NES Classic Editionlast week, despite its sell-out popularity and a clamour for new units to be produced. Nintendo explained that “NES Classic Edition wasn’t intended to be an ongoing, long-term product.”

In our review of the NES Classic, we said, “Nintendo’s tiny console is wonderfully made, but its painfully short controller limits how you enjoy these games.”
